This invention relates to improvements in doors and locking devices therefor.

The principal object of this invention is to produce a simple lmeans for locking a folding door without the employment of the usual top and bottom sliding'bolts. l rAnother object is to produce a deviceof this character which is sturdy in construc- A A further .object is to provide means whereby an ordinary lock may be utilized for securing the fastening device.

. A still further object is to provide a device .V which is simple and therefore economical to manufacture.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

f In theaccompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which `:like

numerals are employed to designate like" vparts throughout the same,

' Figure 1 is afV front elevation of a door y having my invention applied thereto, y YFigure' 2 is a cross-section lookingdown on f top rof the guide bar,

, Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 4, showing in dotted lines the various positions thedoor can assume,

Y Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the slider,

-Figure 5 is an elevation similar to Figure 1, except that the same is taken from theopposite side of the door, y

' Figure 6 is a Y cross-section taken on v the line 6 7 of Figure 5, and showing the lockingrbar in unlocked position,

Figure 7 isV a view similar: to Figure 6 j j .40 r Vshowing the locking bar inlocked position,

l`Figure 8 is aview taken on the line 8-9 of I I' L v Figure 5 showing the locking bar in unlocked position, and

Figure 9 is a view similar to Figure 8 showf ing the locking bar in locked position.

In employing Adouble doors which are adapted to close a. suitable opening as for instance a' garageit has been customary to `swingthe double doors on two sets of hinges disposed upon opposite sides of the openings. yThisrequired,the employment of fastening devices where the doors abutted each Jother and also required the operatorI to first `open one door thenunbolt the other door and open it. '(Whendouble doors are employed 55 which are hinged one to the other, itis cusj tomary to employ bolts positioned adjacent ""thehinged portion. This type of door cantion, and therefore one which is not easy to f 1o force open.

not be opened from the outside without iirst going inside and lifting the bolts. With this type of door, it has been common to employ a bar across the doors to prevent them from be- ;ing i forcibly opened from vthe outside.

f kI have thereforeidevised a means whereby the objections to this type of door have been.' 65 overcome and in the accompanying drawings `the numeral 5 designates a door frame as a Vwhole to which the door 6 is hinged as Vshown at 7 and 8.

Hinged to the door 6 is a door 9, the hingesfq'o being shown at 11 and 12 and 13 of Figure 5. The hinge 13 has hinged thereto as at 14 and 16, plates 17 and 18 which are in turn hinged together as at 19, and are in turn fastened to a lock bar composed of sections 21 and 22.5.75 The ends of these sections are secured by hinges 23 and 24, respectively to the bars 26 and 27 of the doors 6 and 9.

' In order to actuate the locking bar I provide a curved segmental link 28 which is pivoted to the bar 22 and projects through Y the slot formed in the door 9, as best shown vin Figures 8 and 9.

`This locking bar has a recess 29 formed therein which recess is adapted to be engagedyrea by the'nose 31 of any desired forml of lock. -In order to guide the free swinging end of the door 7, I provide a track 32 positioned above the door and further provide asliding member 33which may be elevated and engagfno the track as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

The manner of using my device is as follows Assuming that the door is locked, the parts will beinthe position shown in Figures .7 and 'ivi `9. By now inserting a key in the lock and withdrawing the bolt 31, the segmental link 28 may be .pulled forward to the position shown in Figures 1 and 8. This will move the Vertical position atwhioh timethe doors (Sand 7 may bev swung upon theirxconnec'ting pivv ots and upon'ftheir'main supporting'hinges invention herewith shown and'desoribed is to be takensas a .preferred example ofthe same Y ind that various changes relative tothe shape,
